Description: In Writer 6.2 there are some context menu options missing compared to earlier versions. I just had a document that was messed up by the new LibO version (bug is reported) and had to reformat a table. It was surprised (to say the least) by not finding any way to format the vertical alignment of table cells. I clicked all menus that seemed to be related to that somehow without any luck. About 10 minutes later I found the options in one of the toolbars (which I almost never use, because I'm used to work with the context menu). The two things that made me almost scream was the missing vertical-alignment and the number-formatting in context-menu. Im sure LibO 6.2 will make more users than me pull their hair, so maybe we can bring this options back by default? I already configured the context-menu as wanted (thanks to the great customization UI :)), but not everybody will find/do that. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open Writer and create a table 2. fill some numbers in a cell 3. Right click the celll Actual Results: No Options for vertical-alignment, number-formatting and number-recognition are displayed in context-menu. Expected Results: Options for vertical-alignment, number-formatting and number-recognition should be in context-menu, as it was in earlier versions. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: Yes Additional Info: I guess the removal of those options is based on feedback from the telemetry. But I simply had to report this "issue" anyway. Also keep in mind, that more advanced users does tend more often to disable telemetry services!

By design. Context menus were made user customizable at the 5.2 release for bug 93837 Use Tools -> Customize from the module in use, e.g. Writer, and select the Context menu to adjust from the Target droplist. Prior to the 5.2 releases, the context menu was hard coded--after that the context menus were "weeded" to remove less common entries. Users are expected to RTM.
Sadly thats the answer I expected :( But what does RTM in that context mean?

The Help, either built-in (with F1), or online ( at https://help.libreoffice.org/6.2/en-US/text/shared/01/06140300.html?&DbPAR=SHARED ) And there is the Getting Started with LibreOffice guide... Chapter 14. - Customizing LibreOffice https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Publications#Getting_Started_with_LibreOffice The project release notes provides some coverage of the Tools -> Customize dialog (the menu section of the 5.2, 5.3, 6.0, 6.1 -- https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes ) Then there is project Ask (ask.libreoffice.org) to formulate a specific question, or check for similar that have already been answered. ( https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Ask/Getting_Started ) And there is an old style User Mail List that many still prefer ( users@global.libreoffice.org) With a Nabbel hosted searchable archive ( http://document-foundation-mail-archive.969070.n3.nabble.com/Users-f1639498.html ) Or if one wants to follow the development--project uses meta bugs to help track specific issues. Here https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/showdependencytree.cgi?id=103238&hide_resolved=0 Unfortunately, at the moment the F1 help (when the "off-line" Help package is installed) is a bit lacking, tooltips and labeling it should provide (on mouseover) are out of service--that happened as we transitioned the help system (NewHelp) for better browser integration (see bug 118148)
